Answer:
Xylem Tissues
Xylem is one of the important tissues of the vascular system of plants. The main activity of this tissue is to transport minerals and water from roots and carry them to other parts of the plants. It has two separate chambers, tracheids and vessels for transporting minerals and water.
Phloem Tissues
Phloem is also important as the xylem tissues for the vascular system of plants. The main activity of this tissue is to transport nutrients and food from leaves to other growing parts of plants.
Functions of xylem
•It is responsible for replacing the total amount of lost water molecules through transpiration and photosynthesis.
•Xylem carries water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
•Provides mechanical strength to the plant and helps in strengthening the stem.
Functions of Phloem
•It is responsible for transporting proteins and mRNAs throughout the plant.
•Phloem carries the food prepared by the leaves to different parts of the plant.
•Translocates the synthesized sugars by the photosynthetic areas of plants to storage organs like roots, bulbs and tubers.
